Can relate to both. There aren’t a lot of winters left where I’ll be able to ski. The future no longer feels infinite. I do not have all of the time in the world to do the things I enjoy. But, and my younger self would be very upset with me, I am very happily done with the hussle.

This isn’t an accident. They said they’d do this. People voted for this. This is what some people want to happen. No one should be surprised by this. On the campaign trail Trump promised to deport 20 million people. They’re aren’t 20 million undocumented people in the US. The only way you can deport 20 million people is to deport a lot people who have no reason whatsoever to be deported.
Re:Self-Hosting like it's 2025
on Tuesday April 01, 2025 @10:53AM (#43547513)
For our startup, I decided we’d self-host as much as possible. We have one server in our office with Traefik for “firewall” and SSL termination, and our backend services are handled by Incus. Our only paid services are Tailscale and Postmark. We run things like forgejo and mattermost for our internal development work, as well as things like elasticsearch and kibana for observability into our products (100ish embedded devices distributed globally). So far so good.

Yup. Even in the 90s it was Microsoft’s plan to turn software development into just clicking buttons, e.g. Visual Studio. Just think of all of the business value the middle managers at a Fortune 1000 could produce with a bunch of cheap labor in some underdeveloped country with only three months of training (paid by them) to learn which buttons do which

Can’t tell what exactly they think is in UF. Perhaps you mean the principle is in UF? That’s pretty meaningless though. The actual loan amount is converted to pesos when it’s finalized (the process can take months), and the APR is just some percentage of that.

Rents are in UF. I’ve never seen a mortgage in UF. Some savings accounts also pay “interest” in UF.

I was surprised at how hard it was to find a designer who could make a simple html and css only website. Just having to dip my toe in this world for a good-looking but mostly non-functional website gave me all kinds of ick.
Oh, https://sumar.io is a form handler for static websites available under the AGPL.

I think the "hard part" for people is keeping commits focused on just one change. Commits should be crafted to help reviewers, but what I see mostly is a bunch of random commits that look more like a backup of each days progress.

Point 3 is the key. Code coverage should only be measured by tests that only use the “external API.”
